Did we skip a couple of weeks and not notice? It’s only February 12 and we already know the acts and songs from all of the Big Five countries for Eurovision 2017. Last night, we saw Italy and Spain confirm who they’ll be sending to Kyiv, after the United Kingdom, Germany and France’s reveals in the previous couple of weeks. The question now is: who is your favourite?

Of course, there’s a chance that the songs will be reworked still before we reach Kyiv. We already know Alma is likely to have a revamp (the song is described as the “radio”, not “Eurovision” version). The UK is also said to be looking at reworking parts of “Never Give Up On You”.

But as it stands, these are our songs — so which is your favourite so far? Check out all five songs below, then vote in our poll:

Eurovision 2017 — Big Five Countries

France — Alma, “Requiem”

France are the only Big Five country to select their act internally, as they went with Alma and her song “Requiem”. After their return to the top 10 with Amir, chosen in the same method, that was the obvious choice. It’s also a similar choice in singer, as Alma is looking to launch her pop career. What better place than Eurovision to do so!

Germany — Levina, “Perfect Life”

Levina won the 3 hour marathon Unser Song contest with her song “Perfect Life”. It wasn’t exactly a close fight, either: she actually beat herself in the final round, thanks to the structure of the contest.

Italy — Francesco Gabbani, “Occidentali’s Karma”

Namaste! Francesco Gabbani won the historic Sanremo Festival in Italy, becoming the first person to win the main competition a year after taking the “Newcomer” award. In doing so, he earned the right to go to Kyiv as Italy’s representative — which he immediately said “yes” to. What’s more, he’ll be bringing his winning song, “Occidentali’s Karma” with him. We just hope the gorilla makes it with him!

Spain — Manel Navarro, “Do It For Your Lover”

Manel Navarro might not have been the people’s choice in Spain, but he’ll be their act in Kyiv. Manel won the final of Objetivo Eurovision in a dead heat tie with Mirela. “Do It For Your Lover” was the jury’s choice, prompting angry scenes from the studio audience.

The anger from some Spanish fans is a stark contrast to Manel’s laid-back entry. Some of our Wiwi Jury already noted its comparison to Bruno Mars’ “The Lazy Song” — could this be as big a hit?

United Kingdom — Lucie Jones, “Never Give Up On You”

The first of the Big Five acts to be chosen, Lucie Jones triumphed in Eurovision: You Decide. The former X Factor UK contestant — who was eliminated from that contest by Jedward — won over five other acts. Her song, “Never Give Up On You”, is written in part by former ESC winner, Emmelie de Forrest. Whilst it wasn’t a big hit in our pre-contest poll, Lucie seems to be gaining some traction with fans thanks to her great live vocal.

There are the songs, now it’s time for you to have your say on which is your favourite. Vote in our poll below, but remember: you can vote for as many acts as you’d like, but only once:

Chris Halpin

Chris has been a Eurovision fan since 1997, when he entertained his family with an all too enthusiastic commentary over Katrina and the Waves' victory. Today, he does much the same on the internet, including on his Twitter, @KatsJonouchi. Keep up with the latest Eurovision news and gossip by liking our Facebook page and by following the team on Twitter @wiwibloggs.

5. Spain
Just exactly what on earth happen to Espana? It was a fair disappointment for Spain during the past 2 year, finishing near the bottom despite having near-perfect songs. However, this year there’s a almost definite sure they will finish in the same position again. I have no hate for the singer, but do you think you can win with basically an even boring Frans-like song? The fans were crying foul about the “rigged” results and judging by the alleged corruption behind it, I hope this is true because I want Mirela’s “Contigo” to replace the Manel for Eurovision if this comes to the worst.

4. Germany
I was tempted to put this last again, but this year they will be lucky thanks to Spain. Even as a Titanium look-alike song, it does not bring anything special to the table… Oh well, I hope they won’t finish last for the 3rd year in a row…

3. United Kingdom
Did hell froze over? Since when did the UK start sending good entries to Eurovision? Ok, I may be biased considering that I am born in a former British colony and I have been supporting them since 2014, but finally “You Decide” did the right call by sending this to fly the Union Jack. The song may be slightly boring but Lucie’s vocals are indeed very good. She also mentioned that the song may undergo improvements so I’m hoping these improvements will enhance the song further (and who would have though Emmelie de Forest is also a decent songwriter, apart from being a Eurovision winner. Hmm…).

2. France
The French followed up “J’ai Cherche” with another decent song. It may not be the official version, but I enjoy how modern and unique the song is. They also decided to send another rising star to represent France, so I’m hoping they won’t let me down with this entry.

1. Italy
Ommm……… Oh Italy, I have been enjoying most of your entries since your 2011 comeback, but this is beyond magical! I have been listening to this song for so long and I’m so glad it won Sanremo! It’s fun, it’s catchy, it’s well-sung and more importantly, it’s very un-Eurovision at the same time. And yes, the dancing gorilla adds a great touch to this near-perfect song and a 3rd Italian victory is on the cards. Forza Italia! (And dare I say, this may be even better than “Grande Amore” from 2015!)

GERMANY — LEVINA, “PERFECT LIFE”

Levina won the 3 hour marathon Unser Song contest with her song “Perfect Life”. It wasn’t exactly a close fight, either: she actually beat herself in the final round, thanks to the structure of the contest.

Also: yes, it does sound a bit like “Titanium” by David Guetta & Sia. But we’re being assured that it definitely isn’t a direct plagiarism!

ITALY — FRANCESCO GABBANI, “OCCIDENTALI’S KARMA”

Namaste! Francesco Gabbani won the historic Sanremo Festival in Italy, becoming the first person to win the main competition a year after taking the “Newcomer” award. In doing so, he earned the right to go to Kyiv as Italy’s representative — which he immediately said “yes” to. What’s more, he’ll be bringing his winning song, “Occidentali’s Karma” with him.

Hello! In the first place I say that to the Spanish we do not mind that you do not vote us in the end of eurovision; Whether with Manel or Mirela, Europe would vote us equally badly because they have courage. Vote for the quality of the song not by the way in which he was chosen winner in the gala. Vuestra escusa perfecta es la corrupción .

Italian singer is hot, the song is super…..in my opinion ITALY WILL WIN.
ITALY 2018 is the next event.
from Spain :- )

In my opinion the Italian song is the best from all points of view. With all respect I find nothing exciting in the French song except the one who sings it. So I say convinced: ITALY 2018.

Spain is a half song, during all the second part he say only “do it for your lover”
Uk and Germany are good songs and singers but not my taste.
The 2 best for me are Italy and France and i vote for them, of course we need to wait the revamped version for France but i love it, more than Amir’s song !!! Francesco has all to be the winner 🙂 but i will prefer a french victory.

ITALIA – “Occidentali’s Karma” !!!

JackFebruary 14, 2017 @ 4:12 pm

1-Italy, unquestionably the best
2-Germany, pretty song , she s hot
3-France, nothing special
4-Uk, boring….
5-Spain, is it a song? o_O

Top 3 :
1- France ???????? : modern and enthusiastic song !! Love it ???? And French language is very beautiful! Good Luck France for the win
2- Italy ???????? : original song!!
3- UK ????????: Strong voice but a song weaker than French and Italian entries !

Here are my picks:
5th: Spain – Not inherently bad, but unremarkable, I feel like I’ve heard a thousand songs like this one. The NF mess is likely to factor in against him.
4th: Germany – Some notes do sound similar to David Guetta’s Titanium. Other than that, sounds flat to me.
3rd: UK – Lucie’s voice is lovely, but that’s pretty much it.
2nd: France – The strings in the background become somewhat annoying during the chorus. Other than that, it’s a good track. Alma has a beautiful voice.
1st: Italy – Charismatic singer, fresh sound. Not sure if it’s a winner, but definitely will stand out.

cheesecakeFebruary 13, 2017 @ 5:43 pm

Apart from Germany, the Big Five are extremely good this year. I basically love all of them, they’re very close in my top. I voted for Spain and Italy, though.

Love everything about Italy. Potential winner.
France could be revamped and be special.
I don’t mind Germany’s song. Nothing special but nothing awful.

Spain and UK are beyond help and have serious problems.

AntonioFebruary 13, 2017 @ 1:40 pm

I don’t think MANEL will go to Eurovision… You don’t live in Spain, but this is a BOMB, and it’s going to explode.

an esc fanFebruary 13, 2017 @ 12:17 pm

If San Marino withdraws will be 42 countries again, but at this point I think they will have to pay money if they want to withdraw. Maybe because they are a small country, will have a easy way out.
It seems that ESC is going to be 42 a long time, last year was Bosnia and Herzegovina, this year is Portugal, it is hard to meet all in one year.

Really loving Italy and Spain – Nice to have something a little more unique in the contest.
I’ve heard Germany’s entry so many times now but no matter how many times I listen to it it doesn’t stick in my head AT ALL. Definitely another low scoring song for Germany. They should have had Wildfire, at least that was a little more memorable.

Purple MaskFebruary 13, 2017 @ 11:36 am

@an esc fan: The last I heard on the grapevine was that San Marino were in talks with ESC about possibly withdrawing from this year’s contest. But ultimately it will depend on money, of course. 🙂

an esc fanFebruary 13, 2017 @ 10:09 am

I want to like Germany more, but with a selection like that (5 singers + 2 songs), this is the way to create a PRODUCT, not an ARTIST.
This system has to go, no matter how well Levina will do in Kiev.
My top : Italy, Spain, Germany, France, UK. (right now France is loved by most, but my guess is that will disappoint).
Also I want to say that I hope San Marino will choose Elodie from Sanremo, is it too much to hope?

JordFebruary 13, 2017 @ 9:29 am

My current top 10 (from the UK):

1) France – 10/10 I wouldn’t be surprised if this stays as my favourite song this year.
2) Finland – 8/10 Probably will be in my top 10 for the year unless everyone pulls it out of the bag.
3) UK – 7.5/10 If a revamp happens it could be higher and make it to my top 10
4) Belarus – 7.5/10 I love that this is completely different and cheers me up. I can see the UK giving this a lot of points since it’s Mumford and Sons-esque.
5) Albania – 7.5/10 I like the song as is but I can’t really put it higher when it will be much different at the show.
–Big Difference–
6) Georgia – 5/10 He voice keeps this from being awful.
7) Switzerland – 4.5/10 Overrated, very generic and nothing special.
8) Italy – 4/10 I can see why people like this but it just rubs me the wrong way.
9) Spain – 3/10 Pretty boring
10) Germany – 2/10 She has a nice voice but the song goes nowhere and to top it all off they have to rip off other artists in certain areas, be original.

AIZZU?February 13, 2017 @ 7:39 am

Italy and France are both brilliant. They can easily be in top-10 in the final.

Justin K.February 13, 2017 @ 5:07 am

1. France – It’s effortlessly modern, and if she gets the staging right and polishes the vocals enough, she’ll be a strong contender. I have a feeling juries are gonna love this.
2. Italy – A departure from Italian entries in recent memory, I really hope this does well since it can prove Italy can be just as fun as everyone else (haha). Francesco did well throughout Sanremo with all audiences and juries, so this may be a good sign for the Grand Final.
3. UK – I’m excited for a slight revamp (I.e. Stronger instrumentation and arrangement), and if it goes well, Lucie can easily land in the top 10. With some slightly dramatic staging at the end of the song, it’ll have its “wow moment” for the recap.
4. Germany – I love Levina’s voice, but none of the songs did her justice in the NF except for her cover. There’s potential for a 1X placing, but it’s quite slim since it’s kinda pedestrian. Similar to Spain, this may not garner enough top ten placements to gain much points…
5. Spain – The country riddled with scandal right now, I don’t think Manel will do as well as the juries think. It’s a marathon of a song–by the 8th “Do it for your lover,” I’m willing to do it for my death or deafness. This may be a surprising ear worm for viewers, but I don’t think this will rank in the top ten in enough countries to garner many points.

WyattFebruary 13, 2017 @ 3:39 am

Ahhh thank you guys so much! That really helped!

azaadFebruary 13, 2017 @ 3:37 am

If BBC stage it well, then the UK will finish well. They’ve always been left down by mediocre performances (see 2011, 2014, 2016 when they had good songs that we thought would place higher). Lucie isn’t a has been or an upstart, but someone currently working as a successful West-End actress. Her lack of charting success (only because she hasn’t pursued that avenue of work) is compensated by her ability to be both technically precise and emotionally devastating. Considering that ESC is in Kyiv this year, allowing the UK to avoid the full fall out of Brexit, I think they’ve primed themselves for a good showing. Top 15.

LolekFebruary 13, 2017 @ 3:28 am

I take back my previous post :
France still first
Italy 2nd

LolekFebruary 13, 2017 @ 3:23 am

1. France ftw!
2. Germany (unpopular choice I realize but I find it quite catchy…)
3. Italy (and I really do like this song – perhaps it will move if I keep listening to it)
4. Britain (A sweet song, but not a winning one by any means imo)
5. Spain (I don’t dislike this song necessary but it doesn’t have a very “eurovision” vibe – but hey maybe thats a good thing in this case?)

JamesFebruary 13, 2017 @ 2:35 am

You should still be able to access RAI’s website. I was able to watch both his semifinal and finale performance there.

an esc fanFebruary 13, 2017 @ 1:37 am

It seems that one must put Spain and Germany last, otherwise it will be accused of not having good taste. I like Italy and Spain.
Now, it is unpopular what I say, but UK has no chance to stand out, and between Levina and Alma…I will not be surprised if Germany will be higher than France.
For now, Alma has charmed fans with her 60’s Jane Birkin style and her postcard clip, but what matters are those 3 minutes on stage.

fikriFebruary 13, 2017 @ 1:26 am

@wyatt: try finding it in dailymotion.

WyattFebruary 13, 2017 @ 1:16 am

Does anyone have a video of Francesco’s live performance? I didn’t watch Sanremo but would love to see it…can’t find it on YT.

Anyways, France and UK are my favorites.

Amor AmankwahFebruary 13, 2017 @ 1:08 am

Italy by miles. Then France, finally the others I don’t like very much.

ColinFebruary 13, 2017 @ 12:19 am

1. Italy 10/10
2. France 9/10 / tie United Kingdom 9/10
………………………………………………………………………
4. Germany 3.5/10
5. Spain 0/10 (The song itself would be around 4/10, slightly less bland than the German one, but considering it probably should be disqualified, it deserves a pure 0)

For all of you who thinks Alma is bad live, she isnt! There is a video which shows her bad live, and the audio is bad too! I promise, she’s a good vocalist ????

maggieFebruary 12, 2017 @ 11:42 pm

I do not get some people intentions to comment in every single wiwibloggs post, doing the same thing over and over again, insulting the italian entry because of the gorilla… i get it that not everyone understands italian, but once and for all, understand that the gorilla is a symbol and not sth used to attract the audience and make them laugh!
Talking without having information over sth is called ignorance and that is the last thing Eurovision needs to become great again!
As for the song, it is brilliant in every single aspect, clever, modern, italian and carries a very strong message within its lyrics!!!
I am definitely going to vote for it!! Lots of respect and admiration to Francesco for taking art in Eurovision into a whole new level, not because of the “gorilla”, but because of the message and the way he has chosen to bring it to us!!
Well done as always, Italy!

So the 2000s are back …. and this time is a shape of a gorilla to send a serious message … it’s like asking Justin Bieber to sing about social awareness and serious issues while throwing up on stage and telling fans to STFU … so delightful and so enjoyable … so entertaining … and more importantly … it’s eclipsing the competition for what it’s all about … the music. Fans don’t really want a black bird to sing … but desperately found in a black gorilla a reason to bring back the Eurovision that was fun due to the load of rubbish included in it (as if a potential lip sync drag queen from Lithuania wouldn’t be entertaining enough!).
And coming from Italy that refused to take part of this for so many years due to their own sense of criticism against the lack of music credibility in the competition … here they are playing their part in this game … by bringing a gorilla to the stage to metaphorically send a message … applause applause applause Italy … revenge against your 2015 defeat must be a thrill. And wanting to bring Eurovision to the sunny hot south … and who’s gonna host it? Toto Cotugno again? Has he learned any English since then?

Oh black bird please … do sing … so that I can pretend none of this is happening.

Cambell GraceFebruary 12, 2017 @ 10:36 pm

If you put Germany/Spain above Italy, France and the UK, you’ve officially got no taste in music. No arguing about it.

France and Italy by far, I could even see them both making top 10.
UK isn’t terrible but doesn’t stand out.
Spain and Germany will be fighting for last place this year it seems like

LaburnumFebruary 12, 2017 @ 9:09 pm

Ranking Spain or Germany higher than France, Italy or the UK is an insult really.

AntonioFebruary 12, 2017 @ 9:06 pm

NickC Nicky Triphook who participied on the Eurocasting said on Pericospe that two months ago someone (I don’t know who), sent him a message: “Someone called Manel Navarro will represent Spain in 2017”. He didn’t know him. I trust him. Such a shame! We’re a big country, we don’t deserve it.

F*uck you ManelFebruary 12, 2017 @ 9:06 pm

SPAIN = 0 points

STOP CORRUPTION!!

F*ck you Manel!!

FlynnFebruary 12, 2017 @ 9:04 pm

To be honest they’re all just awful. I wouldn’t be surprised if they take all fell below 20th.

It’s between Spain and Germany for last place. They both have awful songs and neither singer are that strong a vocalist. I’d personally say Spain is the more likely to come last just due to the fact most of Spain’s points come from jury and it doesn’t seem a jury friendly song other countries who have performed similar songs in the past have had better songs and were from countries like Malta who come in the top 10 consistently for the jury, Spain just don’t have that much jury influence and they’re one of the weakest countries in televoting regardless of what they enter. (Spain 23rd – 26th) (Germany 24th – 26th)

Italy is most likely to crawl above 20th and I’d largely put it down to the gorilla since people are so easily swayed by a visual distraction (e.g. Russia 2016) and that it’s a rather average song but kinda fun. (16th – 20th)

France is nice but doesn’t have the pizzazz of J’ai Cherche and I think that might doom France to it’s usual place on the table, I hear she is a strong singer though so it could surprise (18th – 21st)

UK has a really tame and flat song which is thankfully getting revamped, if done right it could place well for UK standards (12th – 15th) but as far as revamps go they’re never as good as they should be so I’m not holding out hope. Lucie does seem the strongest and emotional in terms of vocal ability. (19th – 21st)

1 – France
2 – Italy (even if I hate it a lot because I’ve spended a lot(10euros)across the nights of Sanremo to vote Ermal & Fiorella, it is growing a bit + the others are horrible.)
3 – Spain(even if I wanted LeKlein or Mirela)
4 – UK
5 – Germany (I don’t even remember it for how much is boring lmao)

SpirKFebruary 12, 2017 @ 8:22 pm

I really like 3 of them, and I don’t like 2 of them:
1. United Kingdom (inpopular choice): Fantastic, gives me shivers. Lucie outperforms everyone on the live. 9/10
2. France: Really nice, tasteful French pop. Beautiful singer who can sing it live (saw her performing it a couple of hours ago). 8/10
3. Italy: Not exactly current music but I don’t really care about that. Very nice, catchy, uplifting, radio friendly song. Also fantastic peformer. 8/10
4. Germany: She is really good, although I don’t love her voice. She deserved a better song. It’s flat and it’s like I am going to hear “Titanium” but it never takes off. 5/10
5. Spain: Really flat, don’t like the production and the voices saying “Na na na na lover (?) ” after the chorus. 4/10

SPAIN IS LAST ON YOUTUBE. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA WELL DESERVED. NO CORRUPTION.

AdamFebruary 12, 2017 @ 8:03 pm

I can’t decide if I like France or Italy better… they’re both amazing songs on their own but from different genres so it’s hard to pick one over the other. I think I might just like Italy a bit more because the song is so happy and positive and gives off good vibes. France does too, just not as much as Italy.

AntonioFebruary 12, 2017 @ 8:03 pm

NEVER SPAIN! SUCH A SHAME! MANEL GO AWAY!

High points of juries from 200 to 320 points can only get few countries Sweden, Australia ebu little baby, and sometimes maybe Ukraine and Malta, Azerbaijan. That countries almost every years gets huge points from juries , and in this group sometimes join Israel, and in past few years Netherlands and Belgium and few times Italy 2011,2012,2016

Polegend GodgarinaFebruary 12, 2017 @ 7:53 pm

Spain! <3
Italy and France are also absolutely great.
The United Kingdom is boring, but harmless.
Germany's song is flat out trash.

JonasFebruary 12, 2017 @ 7:52 pm

Aside : France not have a good entry in 2009? You’ve got to be kidding…Patricia Kaas is divine, and that was by far the standout French entry of the 2000s, maybe ever. Different strokes.

blondboybcFebruary 12, 2017 @ 7:46 pm

Italia rules the roost for me! Followed by France, UK, Spain and Germany. I can see the last two being in lower half of scoreboard, and Italy threatening Sweden and Russia for the win! France is quite good, but waiting to hear the “ESC” version! 🙂

E.ScottFebruary 12, 2017 @ 7:44 pm

1)France
2)UK (this was close)
3)Italy
4)Germany

5)Spain (the only entry thus far I actually dislike)

According to the statistics, the jury put Francesco second, but way second (29.17%), while the first Ermal Meta had 43.75%. #3 had 27.08%.

On the televote, Francesco won with 43.69% to the #2 of 33.21%.

So, I don’t think that the juries will love Italy this year. Yes, I know blah, blah about being a pan-European jury in May, but on Sanremo, even Il Volo didn’t won the jury vote. So…I am not sure whether he will end up high. If Ermal Meta was to represent Italy, he would have scored high with the juries (like Australia in 2016), but the televote would have been bad.

Italy, you are not winning this (ESC)! 🙂

marcFebruary 12, 2017 @ 7:30 pm

France will be finish like Italy last year.
Only Italy have chance for TOP 10 even TOP 5
Germany and France from 15 to 20 place
Spain and UK from 21 to 26 place in final.

1. France (Love it so much, ive listened a lot to Indila so this is so in my taste)
2. UK (Beautiful and the live elevates the song)
3. Spain (Mirela should have won but this is still a good entry)
4. Italy (I wanted Ermal Meta to win but I like this too, could grow a lot)
5. Germany (easily the worst)

am i’m the only one who can’t see anything special in italys entry????

PPFebruary 12, 2017 @ 6:46 pm

Manel and Alma don t have strong live vocals.
Best vocal have Lucie buth she have boring ballad , Lavina and than Francisco.
Juries gave vote for singing, quality of song.

lauraFebruary 12, 2017 @ 6:45 pm

Pretty obvious imo
1. France
2. Italy
3. Germany
4. UK
5. Spain

Cambell GraceFebruary 12, 2017 @ 6:41 pm

The UK entry is being revamped as is France so a bit early to judge yet. But IMO:

1. Italy – easily the strongest, will get in the top ten definitely at this rate.
2. France – fresh and modern, I would like to see a bit of English but that’s me being biased since I am English. Could see this in the top fifteen, highly doubt it’ll surpass Amir though.
3. UK – best entry since Molly. If the revamp goes well, this could contend for the top ten definitely at this rate. IMO out of all the ballads, she’s easily one of the best.
4. Germany – parts of the song are memorable, others not. I don’t think they’ll come last but doubt they’ll get above 20th.
5. Spain – Frans pulled his song off. This however won’t do as well. This will crash and burn in the final, easily.

x77February 12, 2017 @ 6:39 pm

Many eurovison fans don t lke german song becuase their song remind tham on big hit Titanium. Lets go in past in 2010, many that year said and wrote that song from Denmark is similar with big hit Every breath you take, and they finished on 4 place in final and when many thougt when in semi left one envelope that wili be go to Sweden and we saw when envelope opet flag of Denmark.
Germany wil not finish so high like Denmark 2010 but I don t think that Germany wili be in bottom 4 place in final.

AngiePFebruary 12, 2017 @ 6:38 pm

This is really tough because my favourites are France and Italy and it’s difficult for me to name one!
They are different kind of songs, but I think I’ll go with Italy, I loved the song from the beginning and I’m sure they’ll slay in May!!
My top:
France
Italy
UK
Spain
Germany

DarrenFebruary 12, 2017 @ 6:35 pm

Italy is my standout favourite so far! Such a catchy, modern yet typically Italian song. Everything that a modern Italian Eurovision entry should be. This could win. It gives me the same vibes that Amir gave me when he was announced for France last year. Different styles of songs though. Speaking of France, yes! They are my close second! They have really turned a corner these last two years, although France has always sent good entries in my opinion, except 2009 and 2015. Yes, even the weird ones of 2007-2008 are good to me.
Germany is my biggest Big Five disappointment this year, that song is awful and sounds like something that my country (Ireland) would enter. Germany is capable of so much more and I really hope poor Levina is given a revamp. She’s a good vocalist.
1. Italy (definite Top 10, may even win)
2. France
3. Spain (safe, hoping for a revamp)
Big gap
4. United Kingdom
5. Germany (if they were in the semi finals, they wouldn’t make it)

VanessaFebruary 12, 2017 @ 6:34 pm

Definitely Italy! He’s even my overall favorite so far

x77February 12, 2017 @ 6:33 pm

We all know that juries wili push so hard in points, this year again Sweden and EBU baby Australia.

Rock MeFebruary 12, 2017 @ 6:33 pm

France is the best.I like Italy & UK.Spain & Germany are a disaster.

Purple MaskFebruary 12, 2017 @ 6:31 pm

18 people have voted for Germany so far. (That’s… astonishing!)
Italy and France will lead this. UK is a safe third. Spain’s song I can’t stand, but it’s better than Germany’s. 😀

AlanFebruary 12, 2017 @ 6:30 pm

Italy
France
Germany
UK
Spain

ColinFebruary 12, 2017 @ 6:29 pm

Great poll, guys! I love Italy the best, but France and UK also have amazing songs. All 3 deserve to go on the left side of the scoreboard this year. I wouldn’t mind either finally winning as well.

On the other hand, Spain and Germany are a race to the bottom. Unless Ukraine brings one of the worst entries in the history of ESC, I think we have 26th and 25th spot reserved.

Italy did it again.Amazing song and the language is incredible.Please keep it in Italiano?

GrcFebruary 12, 2017 @ 6:22 pm

1. Spain 2. Italy 3. France

DenizNLFebruary 12, 2017 @ 6:22 pm

I liked them better last year.
But Italy, France and Germany are good.
Uk and Spain are likeable but VERY boring.

ESCFanFebruary 12, 2017 @ 6:21 pm

For once Spain will not win the poll – the reason being that Spanish fans do not like their entry 😛
